Pastor Maldonado has refused to confirm speculation he has already signed
to make his F1 debut with the Williams team in 2011.

In Abu Dhabi this week, the new GP2 champion has been testing both with
Williams as well as HRT, the Spanish team that will use a gearbox supplied
by Oxfordshire based Williams next year.

Williams has cleared a 2011 race seat alongside Rubens Barrichello by
ousting Nico Hulkenberg, whose manager Willi Weber said on Monday that the
team has "probably already done a deal with Pastor Maldonado".

It is assumed that Williams has signed Maldonado because it needs his
financial backing provided by the Venezuelan government and the petroleum
company PDVSA.

But Maldonado is quoted by F1's official website: "At the moment, no
comment on that."
